Google. Bing. Yahoo. Wikipedia. Or other. Which is your favorite?

I do a lot of research for my novels and became quite fond of Google and Wikipedia [and Wiktionary]. For some reason, while it's always been on my search tab, I decided to try Bing. I was surprised. Bing Maps is, in some way, far better than Google Maps and has just about the same feature. In fact, the Street Level view on Bing appears easier to use than Google.

So, what's your favorite? And why?

Google is my go-to. I own a Google branded phone and enjoy the simplicity of syncing searches, contacts, etc.

There may be better search engines out there, but I am a creature of habit and dislike change.

#1 Google
#2 Yahoo

I know Yahoo isn't cool anymore but I like it.

Google. They know everything about me and then some. Google Now is a very scary yet helpful thing!

I actually use Bing... once Google started really trying to force the whole google ecosystem of things and connecting all your crap together, I tried bing and have stuck with it since.

Bing.
Decided to pick one eco-system and quit spreading it around. Saw MSFT and GOOG were both putting the net around me seeking total capitulation and immersion.

I like Bing maps, Outlook email and calendar, Word, Publisher, Windows Phone, so I just picked MSFT, and don't give GOOG much of anything any more.
